Guardian Childcare & Education Coromandel Valley

Welcome to Guardian Childcare & Education Coromandel Valley, a childcare and day care centre situated perfectly for families living in surrounding suburbs such as Chandlers Hill, Craigburn, Aberfoyle Park, Flagstaff Hill, Blackwood, and Hawthorndene. Located in south-east Adelaide, our centre is custom designed to offer an inspiring and stimulating early learning environment for children aged six weeks to six years. 

Children are supported with a dedicated and experienced team of Teachers and Educators who take a personalised approach to learning, ensuring that each child receives the best possible care tailored to their own individual needs. 

Featuring expansive, light filled environments such as our spacious outdoor area and dedicated communal piazza for children to socialise and connect during mealtime – our childcare centre provides a safe and secure environment for your child to continue to explore and discover their world!  

Our childcare centre also includes onsite parking, making it easier for parents to access during pick up and drop off every morning and evening. 

As the only early learning childcare centre within a 2km radius, families will also have access to our leading Kindergarten program. Our program has been designed specifically to prepare children for a smooth transition from childcare to Primary School, focusing on open-ended and play based experiences that: 

  • Teach basic numeracy and literacy skills needed for academic success and; 
  • Have clear learning outcomes, delivering on the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standard for Early Childhood. 

Our program also offers families support by way of longer care hours, that way, you won’t have to worry about juggling the duties of your day-to-day.  

Unique to Guardian, parents will have the opportunity to connect and track the progress of their child’s learning through our Visible Learning Program. Found on the Learning Exchange Display located in the Centre, our Teachers and Educators will be able to share with you the latest educational developments and milestones of your child, whilst also giving you the chance to share your own inputs and goals so that you’re involved in your child’s learning too! 

Families will also have access to our family communication app, StoryPark. Here we share with you the deeper insights on what’s happening day-to-day with your children, as well as any other updates or experiences that occur within the Centre.

Rhythm of The Day

With endless possibilities, there’s never a dull moment at Guardian and no two days are the same. Here’s what a day at Guardian might look like. Please note, this will vary depending on centre opening hours.

  • Morning

    Handover time with children, families and our friendly Educators. There's a chance for conversation to share what's important for the day/what's happened the night before at home.

  • Morning

    Breakfast time where families are welcome to stay and enjoy breakfast with the children.

  • Morning

    As children are arriving and families are coming and going, there's an opportunity for play as well as family grouping, open-plan play and multi-age grouping.

  • Morning

    As the children come together, planned experiences begin. This is where the Guardian programs and practices come to life. Examples of learning include numeracy, literacy, language, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, social skills, technology, science, creative arts, curiosity and more.

  • Morning

    There's an opportunity for children to come together and enjoy morning tea.

  • Mid-morning

    Following morning tea, the planned experiences continue. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs.

  • Afternoon

    There's an opportunity for children to come together for lunch. With an open-door policy, families are able to join the centre for meals and excursion if they wish.

  • Afternoon

    For children who want to, or need to, there's an opportunity to sleep, rest or relax. For children who don't need to rest, there are planned experiences, which are more likely to be outdoors.

  • Afternoon

    Children come together for afternoon tea in small groups or with siblings (they can also rest and play together, too). This time also presents an opportunity to reflect on the day.

  • End of the day

    As families arrive to pick up children, there's an opportunity to speak to Educators and share information about the day.

  • End of the day

    Some centres offer early tea or light snack at the end of the day, which they can grab as they leave the centre. We’re mindful of how routines vary at home, so if throughout the day, we notice children look tired, food will be provided.
